Kevin leaves to mourn and cherish his memory, his wife Wendy; daughters, Haleigh and Carly; father Thomas (Lee); brother Tom (Lori) and their children, (Ty and Brandon); mother-in-law (Arlene Corneau); three sisters-in-law, (Tracie, Kelley, Sherry); three brothers-in-law, (Chad, Jason, Colin); numerous uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews and cousins; and many friends including dog Gordie. Kevin was predeceased by his mother Bernice in 1991. Kevin was born in Toronto on January 12, 1965 and lived in Brampton, Ontario until 1979 when he and his family moved to the Moncton, NB area where they resided until 1987 before their move to Winnipeg. Kevin was employed at Maxim International Trucks for the last 4 years. He thoroughly enjoyed his work and his colleagues. Subsequent to this Kevin was employed at Fort Garry Industries and Wes-T-Rans Company. Kevin loved to tinker, build and tackle new projects. In recent years, after the completion of the new garage, he could be found working on the black Nissan, replacing the brakes on someone's vehicle and this spring, cleaning and polishing the new boat or working with his father restoring the Jaguar. Kevin possessed a strong passion for camping; he and Wendy spent the last 8 seasons at the West Hawk Lake seasonal campground near his family and friends. He was always full of life and the outdoor activities at the lake, fellow campers and the campfires afforded him much pleasure. As a member of the Royal Canadian Legion, Transcona Branch, Kevin enjoyed numerous legion activities and comradery.
